If IIRC, 436 is 4 short of the maximum the A330 can carry. It's going to be a tight fit. But Filipino people are generally small built, so it should be less of a problem me thinks.

So you should not notice that many difference with any other Y cabin out there.

I'm not sure if I understand you there but I think that kind of capacity requires a 9 abreast seating.

This plane will be an all-economy class seater, no business nor first class seats. I thought this will allow the airline to install 436 seats in a 8 abreast config, but you think it will be 9 abreast?

I agree it will be tight in a 3-3-3 config (16.5" seats!).

It will be 9 abreast, like AirAsia does however it will be all economy.
I imagine it will be similar to having 10 abreast in a 777 which is starting to become very common these days.

"Mr Reyes said Cebu Pacific has decided on a single-class configuration for its A330-300s with 436 economy class seats in a 3-3-3 layout. This is only four seats below the maximum 440 seats that the A340-300 was certified for."

Thanks. I never realised that some operators are already using 9 abreast on the A330. In that case it's gonna be a henhouse

I imagine it will be similar to having 10 abreast in a 777 which is starting to become very common these days.

Except the 777 has 17" seats while the A330 has 16.5" seats.
